New Sims Games Target Younger Women

[Atari]

Electronic Arts has announced a new addition to its Sims line of virtual reality games that is designed to attract younger women to the popular franchise. "The Sims Life Stories" lets players follow a romantic comedy story line -- or not -- as they manipulate every facet of their characters' existence. MacNewsWorld has the story.

In recent years, PC gaming has taken a back seat to console games. However, a Nielsen Entertainment report released in October found that some two-thirds of online PC gamers, or "casual gamers," are women. The study also found that "active gamer" teens and young adults make up a significant portion of PC gamers "with more than half playing casual games an hour or more a week."

When the sims creates a way to summon undead and use bazooka's to take over the world I might consider getting the sims.

Romantic comedy? Errruuk!

Sounds to me like a pathetic attempt at creating a Dating Simulator, something best left in the hands of Japanese Game Developers.
